The Art of Tom of Finland

Tom of Finland (Touko Laaksonen) is no doubt one of the most famous Finnish artists worldwide.
Here are some of his early drawings inspired by lumberjacks and sailors.


And one more in the spirit of Brokeback Mountain...

To commemorate the 15th anniversary of Tom's death, the MSC Finland -organization and the Helsinki City Art Museum will organize a large exhibition of his original work this summer. The works will be brought in from private collections. More about this exhibition later.

Meanwhile, check out some material available on this artist and some other interesting stuff under Tone of Finland.
